Tron Legacy
RayB:
Just saw it today. Pretty good if you like movies that are heavily dependant on "style". Say for example you liked "Ultraviolet", then you'll for sure like TL even more.
"Cora" makes it pleasant too ;-)
It was very light on any tech-speak which is fine I guess; it might have been cheesy to have an I/O Port instead of a "portal" huh?
I liked the soundtrack but was disappointed they didn't incorporate any of the signature melodies from the original movie.

Cora could be my friend (",)
I liked that Daft Punk were in the 'nightclub'.

Just saw it last night. The movie was ok. Not great, but nothing to walk out on either.
The music killed me. 2 hours of "Tangerine Dream" esque synth. Not sayin' it was bad, and it actually "felt" very much like how I remember the original. Come to think of it, seems like the whole mood of Legacy duplicated the original to a t.
Not sure if that's good or bad, but there it is.

Overall, it was a good movie, and I agree pretty much with Danny's assessment. I thought the story was pretty good for a 30 year after-the-fact sequel. They did a good job at making a reasonable plot. Even though I went into the movie wondering WTF Flynn would even end back up in the computer world, they did a good job making a plausible answer. The moive was pretty well balanced plot-wise, and had good action as well. They didn't go into the whole "iso" thing well enough to make that part worthwhile though. I also wish they spent a little time explaining why the 1982 computer world is so radically different from the 1989 world. I think I would have appreciated the artistic direction more if they did. Why do cars kick up dirt? Why are "tron suits" optional? I wish I knew why.
I also was a little irked that they made Kevin Flynn into this Zen master of the computer world, like Neo from the Matrix. Tron of all movies should not have to resort to directly snatching from the matrix. And really, hasn't Jeff Bridges played the aging hippy enough?
Overall, I give it a B+. It might have a more refined plot, but the computer world didn't have that computer space "feel" like the original did. The movie was good enough that I would like to see this become a Tron Trilogy. (Hopefully with more Boxleitner next time).

I liked it. Saw the 2D version 'cause I'm blind in one eye. :P
I thought they were very respectful to the original. They could have really blasphemed and worked an internet/online multiplayer angle, etc.
Instead, they kept the arcade as a central piece of the story. It could have easily gone horribly wrong trying to update it, but they did a good job.
I think it could have been a great movie had the ending been more spectacular or suprising.
As it is, it's a good movie.
I will give them bonus points for rolling out Dillinger's son as an obvious villain, then doing nothing else with the character.
The plot wasn't completely unforseen, but at least they didn't go for the obvious rehash of the old movie.
I like the soundtrack by Daft Punk. :)
